Food truck hire in Checkendon, from our truck or trailer
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller gatherings are looked at case by case. Popular choices include burritos, vegan tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for family celebrations and company away days.
Somewhere as small as Checkendon, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

The process
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. December events in Checkendon lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.

Comparing your options
A hog roast suits meat eaters well, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Will you travel to a small place like Checkendon?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Checkendon?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
